Not usually, but Sport Seats were an expensive option so some were inevitably going to be ordered with standard seats.2 5's and a 7 wrote:Ok I know nothing about those cars.....but I see a "Sport" steering wheel and regular seats....is that the way they come? by the way nice lookin g color combo.
The sport seats were $400 in 2001. Except for MY2002 and 2003, they were never included as standard equipment on 6 cylinder cars with the sport package in NA.vinceg101 wrote:Not usually, but Sport Seats were an expensive option so some were inevitably going to be ordered with standard seats.2 5's and a 7 wrote:Ok I know nothing about those cars.....but I see a "Sport" steering wheel and regular seats....is that the way they come? by the way nice lookin g color combo.

This is the uber-cool flip out Cup Holder that replaces that rather useless storage compartment under the armrest behind the gear shifter. Sorry I don't have a shot of it in use or open at the moment, but it's well worth seeking one out and paying the price for it. You can't even call what BMW put in the E39 for drink holding cupholders; they are more like torture devices for US drivers.
I really like that armrest but it's too late to ask Ivo to bring anything more.vinceg101 wrote:You should have had Ivo bring you one of these: Euro Sliding Armrest with Storage Compartment
Yeah, until the first time you stop short and it spills into the HVAC control unit. Or you put something heavier than an 8 oz. Styrofoam cup in them. I love how they positioned them right in front of the sensor intakes on the HVAC control unit also.Karl Grau wrote:I really like that armrest but it's too late to ask Ivo to bring anything more.vinceg101 wrote:You should have had Ivo bring you one of these: Euro Sliding Armrest with Storage Compartment
It looks like someone has reproduced that cup holder. Not cheap though. The front double cup holders on mine are actually not broken and work.![]()
That was part of the Facelift in 2001. Are you low beams Halogen or Xenon? (I didn't see it on the build-sheet).Karl Grau wrote:http://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-E39-5-Serie ... c7&vxp=mtr
I didn't realize by build date came with Angel Eyes. I'm all of a sudden feeling 30 years younger and want to buy a giant subwoofer for the trunk.
I believe TEC made the cup holder for BMW. $89 new from TECaccessories.comKarl Grau wrote:It looks like someone has reproduced that cup holder. Not cheap though. The front double cup holders on mine are actually not broken and work.![]()

I'm not sure if they're Halogen or Xenon but I don't drive at night enough to warrant changing them if they're Halogen.vinceg101 wrote:Are you low beams Halogen or Xenon? (I didn't see it on the build-sheet).
Those are the other things you could get Ivo to bring over: the Euro Xenon Hella headlight units, the ones with the clear side marker reflectors. You can't even get those from Schmeidmann nor any of the US BMW dealers or parts houses. Of course you'll pay a pretty penny for them if you buy them new (+/-$800-900 each).
